Thai movie นาคี 2 / Naki 2 was released in year 2018 and lasts 1h30mn. It made 440M
THB revenue. It is one of the biggest success in Thai movies history. Movie director is
Phongphat Wachirabanjong. It is based on a Thai TV serie นาคี who was aired in year
2016 on CH3 TV channel. The original idea was to do another TV series called นาคี 2 but
it finally became a movie. Main actor as Thosapon (ภูภูมิ พงศ์ภาณุภาค) and actress as
Naki (ณฐพร เตมีรักษ์) from TV serie นาคี are still in นาคี 2 / Naki 2 making the link between
the two versions. The TV series Naki is based on Thai movie Nakee / นาคี released in
year 1979. This movie takes place in Loei, where a local shrine is dedicated to local deity
Mae Naki (แม่นาคี). A new police inspector (สารวัตร) Pong Prap (ณเดชน์ คูกิมิยะ) arrives in
the city. People died recently so the new police inspector has to investigate. A man
pushes young lady Soi (อุรัสยา เสปอร์บันด์) trying to protect the statue. The man, who
insulted the statue, is found dead. Villagers believe it is due to Phajanak (พยานาค), a
huge mystic snake. Pong Prap doesn't believe this despite big bites are found in the dead
body. It is only a traditional belief of local people. A man is suspected. Pong Prap captures
him but he later died in his cell. Soi is a medium and has vision if people are going to die.
Huge snake prints are found. Deity Mae Naki (ณฐพร เตมีรักษ์) performs a rampage
(อาละวาด). A foreigner arrives to catch Mae Naki. Soi tries to discourage him. Four tourists
are found dead as they were taking incorrect pictures near the Chao Mae Naki statue.
Soi is seen on their pictures so villagers suspect her. Pong Prap has to stop villagers
trying to do justice by themselves. The police inspector visits the statue at nighttime and
is attracted by Soi. A monk visits the statue also. The foreigner and his assistant are found
dead. Seven deaths occurred so the village leader (Piya Trakulrard) decides to recruit a
spirit doctor (หมอผี). The spirit doctor warns them about the Phajanak. They suspect Soi
to be the vector of Chao Mae Naki (นาคน้อย). They decide to chase Soi out of the village.
Villagers are looking for Soi and finally capture her. Police cannot stop them. They
prepare to burn her. Another lady, called Lamjiek (ลำเจียก), who died already and had
wished to be reincarnated as a mystical snake, is the one behind the multiple deaths. The
monk, being Thosapon, confirms. Burning Soi would a sin (บาปกรรม). Lamjiek, being
upset by the monk Thosapon, transforms herself in Phayanak and kills him. Nakee,
saddened by Thosapon death, also transforms her into a mystic snake. Finally, both
mystical snakes are fighting, i.e. one lead by Naki and one lead by Lamjiek (นางพญานาคี).
Naki is defeated but Soi transforms herself in a smaller mystical snake to protect Naki but
to no avail. About to be killed by Lamjiek, a giant garuda deity captures and takes away
the evil snake. Peace is back in the village. Reincarnations of Naki and Thosapon can
love each other again.
